Investing in Innovation Grant (i3)

In 2010, Take Stock was awarded the prestigious USDOE Investing in Innovation Grant to enhance its use of student data to help at-risk students achieve and to develop and implement a college readiness and retention advocacy model. The results speak for themselves: 100 percent high school graduation rate; 95 percent college enrollment; and 91 percent college retention. Prior to the end of the grant period, Take Stock in Children was able to successfully sustain and replicate the early warning data collection system and the college readiness model throughout its 45 programs statewide.
